𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐖𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐔𝐬

Words can inspire and status can command, but none compare to the power of those who shape the human spirit. They who wield us hold a power unlike any other. Not a sword that conquers, not a crown that rules, not wealth that fades, but the lasting strength of knowledge. In the hands of a teacher, that knowledge becomes more than lessons in books, it becomes a force that shapes our character, transforms our lives, and builds our future. World Teachers’ Day calls us to pause, reflect, and honor these extraordinary individuals whose influence stretches far beyond the walls of any classroom.

Teachers are more than bearers of lessons, they are builders of possibility. Each word they speak, each story they tell, each correction they patiently offer lays a brick in the foundation of a student’s growth. Slowly and steadily, they help create futures. A single question asked in class may seem small, yet it can awaken a curiosity that lasts a lifetime. In their hands, knowledge is not just transferred, it is kindled like a flame passed on from one soul to another to keep the light of learning alive.

Yet the power of teachers is often invisible, almost hidden in plain sight. Behind every lesson they deliver are late nights of preparation, stacks of papers to check, and countless adjustments to meet the needs of every student. They may not show the struggles they go through, but their patience and presence become a shield that protects their learners. Teachers may not ask for recognition, but their sacrifices make possible the victories that students celebrate later in life. They may not wear capes, but they hold the invisible strings that keep hope alive in young minds.

What makes teachers unforgettable is not just the knowledge they share, but the faith they place in us. They see beyond mistakes on a paper or wrong answers spoken aloud. They see effort. They see courage. They see potential waiting to bloom. When we falter, they are the first to remind us that failure is not the end, but a stepping stone toward growth. They turn our doubts into determination and our fears into strength. As the years pass, their voices remain with us. They become part of our inner dialogue that urges us to keep going, even when life gets difficult.

Teachers may not wield swords or crowns or wealth, but they wield something far greater: us. They shape the way we see the world, and more importantly, the way we see ourselves. On this World Teachers’ Day, may we remember that every dream we chase and every victory we win carries traces of the lessons they planted within us. Because long after the chalk has faded and the blackboard is clean, their impact lives on in our minds, in our choices, and in the future they helped us build.

LOOK: SAS Bulletin SIGNS Petition to Postpone Midterm Examinations

The University of San Carlos' Psychology Society, commonly known as PsycSoc, filed an appeal to the Vice President of Academic Affairs to postpone the midterm examinations scheduled this upcoming week to October 10 to 17.

The appeal was made to allow for students and staff to prioritize their family and well-being after the earthquake on September 30. Going back to academics is an additional challenge and may cause unnecessary stress on top of the physical and psychological tolls the earthquake has caused.

The SAS Bulletin, along with other student organizations, has taken part in this petition.

Please see the letter of appeal attached below.

Stay strong and safe, all Carolinians!
